# qwen-image-edit-8bit
This repository contains MLX-Gen saved weights for `Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit`. The checkpoint is designed for local Apple Silicon inference with [`mlx-gen`](https://github.com/lpalbou/mlx-gen).
It uses the mflux/MLX saved-weight layout and MLX quantization tensors. It is not a Diffusers or Transformers `from_pretrained()` checkpoint.
## Source Model
Original model: [`Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit`](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen-Image-Edit).
## License and Access
This quantized derivative follows the Apache 2.0 license of the source model.
## Quantization
This is an MLX q8 checkpoint. Quantizable modules are saved at 8-bit where the model layout supports MLX quantization; VAE weights and non-quantizable layers remain BF16. The Qwen-specific mixed q4/q8 policy only applies when preparing Qwen models with `--quantize 4`; see the [MLX-Gen quantization docs](https://github.com/lpalbou/mlx-gen/blob/main/docs/quantization.md).
## Compatibility
Requires `mlx-gen >= 0.18.2`.
Generated with `mlx-gen 0.18.2`.
Use the `mlxgen` command and Python import path for new MLX-Gen projects.
## Usage
```bash
python -m pip install -U mlx-gen
mlxgen download --model AbstractFramework/qwen-image-edit-8bit
mlxgen generate \
--model AbstractFramework/qwen-image-edit-8bit \
--image path_to_image.png \
--prompt "Your edit prompt here" \
--steps 20 \
--seed 42 \
--output edited.png
```
## Attribution
MLX-Gen is based on [mflux](https://github.com/filipstrand/mflux) by Filip Strand and the original mflux contributors. This model card is generated by MLX-Gen so derived checkpoints keep that attribution visible.
